TEL AVIV (WNS) — U.S. authorities have requested tiie extradition of Yohoshua (Gerry) Zeller, a 19-year- old soldier in the Israeli Army, on charges of murder and arson in connection with the fire-bombing of im- pressario Sol Hurok's New York office January 26,1972 in which one person was killed.

WASHINGTON, (JTA) - Deputy Secretary of State Kenneth D. Rush indicated on March 29 that the U.S. Congress will grant trade benefits to the Soviet Union and that the Soviet govern¬ ment will set aside its education tax on Soviet Jewish emigrants. At the same time Rush cautioned that Congressional refusal to grant the trade benefits unless the Soviet Union rescinds its emigration restrictions on its citizens may set off a wave of anti- Semitism in Russia and
reduce present emigration. Addressing 600 American, media leaders at the State Department Foreign Policy Conference for Editors and Broadcasters, Rush .made his statements in response to relationships between the Jackson -; Mills'■-■;■ Vanik proposals hi Congress and U.S.-Soviet trade. "There is a grave danger," he said, "that we might be pressing too hard legislatively, bringing about a counter¬ productive reaction in Russia, Producing anti- Semitism and reducing
emigration. We think that the best way is not to limit granting of MFN (most ' favored nation) benefits to the lifting of the exit tax. We hope arid expect a very responsible attitude on the part of Congress. We hope to go forward with the proposed MFN treatment for
Russia and at the same time that this tax will be waived' by the Russians. This I cannot forecast at this time," but I am:optimistic," Rush added.
